Say wait a minute, didn't everyone tell us that once we got rid of ol' Muammar Gaddafi that everything would be wonderful, 'a thousand flowers of democracy would bloom' from the 'Arab Spring', and all that claptrap?

Funny isn't it, Gaddafi voluntarily turns over his WMD programs to the UK and the US, and was found to be far closer to achieving a nuclear capability than suspected, and he still winds up dead. I'm not at all defending the little turd, but let's face it: 0bama's illegitimate military incursion into Libya has produced nothing but the traditional Mongolian cluster screw-up, and now we have a dead ambassador and other consulate workers to show for it.

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service. He arrived in Tripoli in May 2012 as U.S. Ambassador to Libya. Ambassador Stevens served twice previously in Libya. He served as Special Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council from March 2011 to November 2011 during the Libyan revolution and as the Deputy Chief of Mission from 2007 to 2009.

The death of the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was reported by Reuters, who had spoken to a Libyan official. It had not been confirmed.

It was not clear if the ambassador was in his car or the Libyan consulate when the attack occurred.

“The Libyan ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them,” the official in Benghazi told Reuters.

The attack on Tuesday night followed another earlier in the day on the American embassy in Cairo, in which no-one was injured but the flag was taken down and torn up and replaced with the black flag used by radical Islamists.

But the "pure" conservatives around here will keep up their attempts to destroy Romney and ensure Obama gets elected again.... God help us.

Amazing isn't it. Watching some (not all but some) conservative purists morphing into the equivalent of "the enemy within", their words and deeds working to nobody's benefit except for the re-election of that filthy little Communist f*ck in the White House.

The ambassador was paying a short visit to Benghazi when the consulate came under attack on Tuesday night, Al Jazeera’s Suleiman Idrissi reported from the eastern Libyan city.

He died of suffocation during the attack, along with two US security personnel who were accompanying him, security sources told Al Jazeera. Another consulate employee, whose nationality could not immediately be confirmed, was also killed.

Two other staffers were injured, Idrissi reported.

The bodies of the dead were transported to the Benghazi international airport, to be flown to Tripoli and then onwards to a major US airbase in Germany.

If we are finding out now Obama has known for hours. Yet nothing. No response no statement not a damned thing. This is an attack on U.S. sovereign territory and Obama is too busy campaigning to be bothered with such trivialities

What a nasty little trap Chairman Zero is in - if he does something militarily his moony left and islamic voting bases will surely castrate him - if he does nothing - such as sending a strongly worded Tweet - he'll be utterly vilified by the rest of the population. No choice is really a good choice for him at this point. Damned sad people had to die over it - their sacrifices may go unavenged.
